불행하게도 우리나라 청소년의 담배소비량은 세계 1위다. 이들이 작년 한 해 동안 소비한 담배 6,700만 갑으로 이는 전체 담배소비량의 1.4%를 차지한다. 이러한 청소년 흡연율을 가까운 아시아지역 국가들과 비교해도 한국학생이 단연 1위를 차지하고 있다. 여학생의 경우도 심각한 수준에 달해 있다. 같은 흡연자라도 15세 이전에 흡연을 시작한 사람은 25세 이후에 흡연을 시작한 사람보다 폐암에 걸릴 위험이 2.5배나 높다. 그렇다면 현재의 청소년 흡연자들이 폐암에 걸릴 위험성은 적어도 2.5배가 높으며, 폐암 발병 시기 역시 빨라질 것이다. 이로 인한 개인적, 사회적, 국가적 손실이 클 것이라는 것은 쉽게 예측할 수 있다. 청소년 흡연자가 바로 나의 자녀라고 생각하면 청소년 흡연 예방사업을 반대할 사람은 아무도 없을 것이다.

This study examined the status of and factors associated with drinking experience, smoking experience, and internet addiction among elementary school students. Cross-sectional data were collected by questionnaire from 1,061 children among the fifth and sixth grades in public elementary schools in Gyeonggi province. The prevalence of drinking and smoking experience, internet addiction of participants was 22.7%, 2.9%, and 4.2% respectively. Multiple logistic regressions showed that the likelihood of drinking and smoking experience, and internet addiction was commonly higher with those who was a male and had higher aggression level. The likelihood of drinking experience was lower with those who had higher family support, while was higher with those who had higher friend support. That of internet addiction was lower with having higher friend and teacher support. Prevention strategies to prevent drinking, smoking, and internet addiction among elementary school students should consider student's gender, control aggression, and enhance social support in family and school environments.

담배를 끊는 사람들의 마음은 애절하다. 물론 애절함이 더 욱 크기에 완전한 '금연'에 도달하는 사람 또한 드물다. 매년 연말이 되면, 새해 꼭 지켜야 할 자신과의 약속 몇 가지를 품게 된다. 아마 흡연자들의 가장 큰 목표가 금연일 것이다. 하지만 지키기 가장 어려운 것 또한 금연이다. 매해 연초, 담배 판매량이 줄었다가도 이내 제자리로 돌아오는 것은 그만큼 금연이 힘들다는 방증이다. TV 뉴스에서는 흡연의 폐해를 수시로 보도하고, 대표적인 난치병인 각종 암을 소개할 때도 '흡연자가 비흡연자보다 발생률이 몇 배 더 높다'라는 멘트를 귀에 딱지 앉을 만큼 자주 듣게 된다. 이처럼 담배, 즉 흡연의 위험성을 알면서도 사람들은 왜 죽음(?)을 각오하면서 담배를 피우는 걸까?

본 연구의 목적은 도심지역 주민들의 건강생활습관과 췌장암과의 연관성을 파악하는데 있다. 이를 위해 2008년 6월 20일부터 7월 20일까지 종합병원에 내원한 췌장암 환자군 51명, 대조군 116명을 대상으로 설문 및 면접조사를 실시하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 음주량이 증가함에 따라 췌장암발생 위험은 유의하게 증가되었다(P<0.05). 둘째, 췌장암 발생위험에 대한 식사속도, 자극성 음식선호여부, 뜨거운 음료선호여부, 채식선호 정도 등은 환자군과 대조군간에 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았으나 교육수준이 낮을수록 수입이 낮을수록 도시보다는 농 어촌에 거주할수록 췌장암 발생위험도가 유의하게 증가함을 보였다(P<0.01). 셋째, 췌장암 발생에 대한 흡연과 음주의 상협효과 결과 흡연과 음주를 동시에 이용하였을 때 췌장암 발생위험도는 흡연 또는 음주만 이용할 때보다 상협적인 증가를 보였으며 통계적으로 유의하였다(P<0.05). 이상에서 볼 때 췌장암 진단을 위한 정기적인 검사가 보편화되지 않고 대상자의 판단에 의해서만 실시되고 있는 국내 상황을 고려할 때 본 연구에서 유의하게 나타난 위험요인들을 기초로 췌장암 위험 사정 도구의 개발이 필요하다.

Purpose : This study was conducted to survey the preliminary data on risk behaviors and to identify the factors that prevent risk-behaviors in late adolescence. Methods : Freshmen(n=1,297) beginning the first semester in Korea University, Seoul, Korea completed self-administered risk behavior questionnaires, comprising 5 domains : demographics, smoking, drinking, drug abuse and sexual behavior. Results : The rate of smoking experience was higher in people having friends who smoke and the predictors of transition to current smoking were male gender, urban residence, friends' smoking, and nicotine dependence. The rate of high risk drinking was higher among students who are male and who had experience of heavy episodic drinking. The study group showed a low prevalence of narcotic users, but two-thirds of students could get medicine easily without prescriptions. The prevalence of sexual experience was 6.5 percent, and the sexual education was not a predictor of contraceptive behavior. The prevalence of homosexuality was 1.6 percent, and the rate of mostly heterosexuality was higher in female students. Conclusion : The main targets of youth health education should be campaigns aimed at atcessation of reinforcing risk behaviors and the development of a surveillance system for the prevention of chronic disease. These results can be used to find risk factors of health-risk behaviors among late adolescents.

The South Korea has the highest overall smoking rates of male among the thirty member-countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. This study was performed to determine the association between amount of smoking and self-reported voice problem in Korean adult population using national survey data. Data were drawn from the Korea National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey 2008. Subjects were 3,600 persons (1,501 male, 2,099 female) aged 19 years and older living in the community. Adjusting for covariates (age, sex, education, income, longest occupation, alcohol drinking, pain and discomfort during the last 2 weeks), Severe smoke (>40.5-55.5 pack year), more than 20 cigarettes per day were independent risk factors for self-reported voice problem. It was found that the number of cigarettes smoked per day (CPD) the proportional increased in risk of voice disorders. These findings suggest that the investigation of CPD are required for effective screening of voice disorder.

The purpose of the study was to investigate the prevalence and risk factors of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) among nonsmokers from the 6th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey(2013-2015). We used complex sample cross analysis and logistic regression analysis on 4, 911 non-smokers among the patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease over 40 years of age. In general characteristics, the prevalence of COPD is higher in the old(p<.001), men(p<.001), rural(p=.044), without spouses(p<.001), less educated(p<.001), agriculture(p<.001). Also, the non-smoker's COPD risk factor is age(p<.001), gender(p<.001), education(p=.022), occupation(p=.022), pulmonary tuberculosis(p<.001), asthma(p<.001). It is necessary to develop a respiratory rehabilitation and intervention program that can be applied in clinical practice based on nursing assessment considering the COPD prevalence and risk factors.

We investigate how smokers and drinkers have influenced on self-reported risk assessment and workplace injuries, using the Korean Working Conditions Survey. Our empirical results indicate that persistent smoking habit raises workers' job risk assessments and work injuries significantly. Also, former smokers notice relatively higher risk assessments in various work activities, but they are less likely to affect work injuries. More frequent drinking behavior leads to a positive effect of job risk perception and workplace injuries. Regular smoking with frequent drinking for high income classes, however, have significantly reduced the chance of work injuries. Furthermore, establishing smoking-designated area at the workplace makes workers reduce workplace accidents positively. Therefore, the network effect of smoking and drinking behaviors in private circle levels is suggested to extend into public and constructive activies at the workplace levels for sharing useful and productive information, which will eventually reduce workplace injuries dramatically.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between past smoking period and tooth loss in Korean elderly based on the data the Sixth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2013-2015). The study subjects were 4,037 elderly people (1,737 men and 2,300 women) over 65 years old. The statistical analyses were conducted by applying complex sample analysis technique using SPSS/WIN 22.0(${\alpha}=0.05$). The average number of tooth loss in Korean elderly was 11.14. The analysis result of the relationship of the tooth loss according to the past smoking period, the risk of tooth loss was more than twice higher in over 30 years past smoking period group than in under 10 years past smoking period group. In conclusion, the long term past smoking were associated with tooth loss in Korean elderly. Therefore, it seems to need a continuous oral health care through non-smoking policy and education.
